Which function shows the proper way to return this structure
Validate, Validate2, or Validate3? And a short why would be nice.

Validate3 is my choice, because I hate the other two.
Validate does not convey a return type. Validate2 does the work in a very
vb6 way in that the function name is treated as the return variable.
